‘We’re good enough to do it’: Sheffield United star eyeing great escape after beating Newcastle
Billy Sharp believes that Sheffield United can get themselves out of trouble after recording their first Premier League victory of the season on Tuesday. Sharp bagged the only goal of the game from the penalty spot as the Blades defeated Newcastle United at Bramhall Lane to move onto five points for the season. The result left Chris Wilder’s side nine points adrift of safety, but Sharp has insisted that the team can avoid relegation this term. “It’s a huge relief, I’m so happy for the boys,” he told Sky Sports. “It was important we got a win soon. It was scrappy at times, but in the first-half I thought we were brilliant. “We got the luck we deserved and saw it through. “I thought we played with a lot of confidence, and this win can give us more belief. Everyone has written us off – the pr...

The pandemic has had a financial impact on every club, but that hasn’t stopped anyone from getting their wallets out. Here’s a look at every Premier League club’s best signing of 2020 (looking at both January 2020 and the extended summer transfer window).

Report: Arsenal reignite interest in £22m midfielder after missing out on him last January
Arsenal are still keeping a close eye on Sander Berge and could make a move for the Sheffield United midfielder, according to reports from Norwegian outlet VG. The Gunners were one of the many Premier League clubs that showed interest in singing Berge before he joined the Blades for the then club-record deal worth £22m in January 2020. The player quickly settled in and was considered one of the outstanding signings of the transfer window thanks to displays like these. While Sheffield have been really poor in the Premier League this season, managing just one point from nine games, Berge has been superb for them, producing eye-catching displays against Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea. Arsenal have continued to monitor his progress, and are potentially weighing up a move for ...

Reimagining a crest for Sheffield United
Reimagining a crest for Sheffield United – originally posted on Sportslens.com Every English football club has nicknames for its fans or the team itself. Some are okay, like Chelsea’s “Pensioners” and then there are the really cool ones, Like Manchester United’s “Red Devils”. Probably up there in the upper echelons of cool nicknames are “The Blades”. The nickname might be great, but it didn’t always belong to Sheffield United exclusively. They had to share the nickname “Blades” and “Cutlers” with their fierce rivals Sheffield Wednesday. Sheffield United FC was founded in 1889 as an offspring of the Sheffield United Cricket Club. They fought for the ownership of the nicknames for years until 1907 when a newspaper cartoonist depicted Sheffield Wednesday from Owlerton as an owl and Shef...
Dean Henderson could leave Manchester United on loan in January
Dean Henderson could leave Manchester United on loan in January, as the club reportedly delay their decision over what to do with Sergio Romero. That’s according to EPSN who report that Romero wants to leave Old Trafford. Henderson is said to be content with his role at United for now but could leave to get regular game time again, like he did at Sheffield United for two years but with Wolves credited with an interest. I would be surprised if Sheffield United didn’t show interest if the Reds are happy to loan Henderson out to another Premier League club. He knows the club and they’ve struggled in comparison to when he was between the sticks. David de Gea has started the season without too many errors, and there’s no reason to change his role as No. 1 from what I can see. United are blessed...
